Pat Siedlecki
Life Celebrant, Monument Counsellor, Licensed Funeral Director & Embalmer
Pat was born and raised in the small farming community of Foam Lake, Saskatchewan, where he developed a deep appreciation for community, hard work, and connection. After attending broadcasting college in Saskatoon, he began a successful career in radio, spending a decade on Vancouver Island working in Port Alberni, Parksville, and Nanaimo before settling in Lethbridge in 2007.
For many years, Pat served as a trusted voice in local media, building meaningful relationships and becoming a familiar presence in the community. In 2022, he made a purposeful career change, following a long-held calling to serve families in a more personal and profound way through funeral service.
Pat completed his studies at the Canadian College of Funeral Service, graduating in April 2024, and became a licensed Funeral Director and Embalmer shortly thereafter. He is also a certified Life Celebrant through the Certified Celebrants Association of Canada, bringing compassion, care, and a thoughtful presence to every service he leads.
Pat has been part of the Cornerstone team since 2016, where he has grown to deeply value the dedication, professionalism, and respect shown in every aspect of the work. He considers it a true privilege to support families during some of life’s most difficult moments, helping to create meaningful and personalized tributes.
Faith and community continue to play an important role in Pat’s life. Since 2007, he has served as Cantor at Saints Peter & Paul Ukrainian Catholic Church in Lethbridge. Above all, Pat holds a strong belief in the importance of family and finds great fulfillment in walking alongside others with compassion, dignity, and care.
